The carriage from Duan Prince's Mansion galloped back to Beijing, scaring passers-by. Soon the news spread. The prince accidentally fell off his horse while hunting and broke his leg.
This incident was reported to the palace, and the empress dowager immediately asked Wei Zhao to escort the young emperor to visit Duan's mansion in person.
Song Qinruo was just a prince, and Wei Zhao didn't even want to do face work, but he was the regent. His injury was related to major affairs in the court, so he obediently accompanied the young emperor out of the palace. At this time, there were traffic outside the Duan Palace, and almost all the court officials and marquis and nobles of all the quality came, waiting in the hall. When he heard that the emperor had arrived, six cabinet officials immediately led civil and military officials out to greet him.
"How is the Emperor's Uncle?" asked the little emperor Song Jin anxiously.
Liang Jing, Minister of War, stepped forward and said, "Go back to the emperor, the imperial physician is treating him, and I am waiting for the news."
Song Jin nodded and led his head toward the front yard of Linjiang Hall.
The ministers were not allowed to enter without the permission of the prince, so Song Jin did not have to be taboo, and Wei Zhao accompanied him into Song Qin's bedroom.
The imperial physician had just set up a splint for Song Qin. When he saw the emperor coming, he quickly knelt down and saluted. Song Qin's face turned pale and still cold, and asked his nephew indifferently: "Why is the emperor here?"
"I heard that the emperor's uncle was injured, I was anxious. Where did the emperor's uncle get injured?" Song Jin said stereotypedly, walked to the bed, staring at the man's legs, without any worries on his face, but he was more confused. This is normal. Song Qin was not as good as the third princess to him, and there was no affection between the uncle and nephew.
Song Qin glanced at the Imperial Doctor.
The imperial physician immediately explained: "Emperor, the prince's calf is broken, fortunately the injury is mild. I will set a splint for the prince. The prince should be able to remove the splint after he is in bed for half a month. At that time, I will check the prince's recovery, but the muscles and bones are damaged for 100 days. If the prince wants to completely resume daily activities, he may have to rest for a while."
Song Jin seemed to understand but not understand, turned his head to look at Wei Zhao, as if he didn't know what to say next.
Wei Zhao lowered his eyes and asked Song Qin: "Prince, your time of recuperation, the government affairs..."
"Shen Ji, please come in." Song Qin interrupted him, as if he had an idea.
Wei Zhao pursed his lips.
Shen Ji invited six cabinet masters and several other important officials to come in.
Song Qin said: "When I was recuperating, the cabinet will temporarily handle the government affairs. If something difficult to decide, I will submit it to me."
The important officials respectfully accepted the order.
Wei Zhao had no choice but to do anything. All the six cabinet masters were cultivated by Song Qin. Of course, they put Song Qin's interests first in everything. It can be said that there is no big difference between Song Qin's attendance and courtship. At least in just two or three months, they could not shake the loyalty of the ministers to him.
"Okay, I am tired. The emperor and the ministers will invite you back. If you have nothing to do on weekdays, you don't have to visit me. I have been tired for so long and want to take the opportunity to rest with peace of mind."
"Well, take care of the emperor," Song Jin said quietly, taking the lead. When he went out, he happened to meet Princess Yongshou who was visiting.
"Auntie," Song Jin called out politely, not very close to this weird-tempered eldest princess.
Song Yue, dressed in simple and elegant women's clothing, nodded, glanced at everyone casually, stood beside him, and waited for the little emperor to pass by before he continued to move forward. Inside, Song Qin learned that the eldest princess was coming, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and she recovered in an instant, asking Shen Ji to invite someone in.
"The fourth brother is good at riding and shooting. Why did he fall today? Isn't it a big deal?" Song Yue has been pretending to be a woman since he was a child, and he has already grasped the expression, behavior and tone of the woman. He walked in gracefully, with fair skin and beautiful appearance, like a young girl in her early twenties. He can't tell that she is eight years older than Song Qin.
Sitting on the chair that Shen Ji moved over, Song Yue looked at Song Qin's calves that had been set on the plywood and said in confusion.
A faint feminine aura drifted over, Song Qin was displeased and said coldly: "I was careless for a moment, and Sister Lao was worried about it."
Song Yue looked at his face, all of whom were men and had excellent eyesight, so he soon found traces of desire on Song Qin's slightly pale face. Thinking of the news sent back by his subordinates in the morning, saying that Song Qin brought Tang Yu into the mountain, he could roughly guess why Song Qin was "careless". It seems that no matter how steady a man is, he will be distracted by the beauty. The more Song Qin cares about Tang Yu, the greater the chance they will take advantage of Tang Yu in the future.
"Oh, they are all adults, so I don't need to teach you how to take care of yourself. Then you should take good care of your illness. I will come to visit you again if I have time to do it." After asking about the well-being, Song Yue stood up and leaned forward. When he was silent, Song Qin knew that this was just a simple woman named Yanzhixiang, frowned and endured it.
After several intermittent visits, the Duan Prince's Mansion finally became quiet.
Song Qin wanted to order someone to invite Tang Yu, and the third princess came again. There were so many people before that the little girl was told not to come. Now, seeing the emperor's injury with her own eyes, the third princess rushed into the emperor's arms and started crying, "Uncle, are you okay?" She thrust and looked at the emperor's uncle who was like the sky in her heart with tears in her eyes.
Song Qin sighed in his heart. Apart from his confidant, he was probably the only person in the world who really cared about him. If the little girl in the backyard was willing to shed a few tears for him, Song Qin would be willing to break her legs even if she really broke her legs.
Touching his niece's head, Song Qin whispered: "Uncle Emperor is fine, but I just have to be at ease to recover from my injuries next time and can't see Nuannuan."
The third princess blinked, "Then I'll come to see the emperor. If I don't disturb the emperor, can't I just watch it next to me?"
Song Qin nodded: "No, the imperial doctor said that no one can disturb you, so that you can get better quickly. Nuannuan, don't be anxious, the emperor will go see you as soon as he gets done."
The third princess has lived in the palace for so many years and is a person who can endure loneliness. She lay in the arms of the emperor for a while before she reluctantly said: "The emperor is well recuperating, I will be obedient."
Song Qin couldn't help but touched the little girl's head again.
The third princess left obediently, Song Qin breathed a sigh of relief and sent Chen Ji to pass on the message.
After waiting for almost a quarter of an hour, the person he wanted to see the most came late, and a little yellow dog was actually followed behind him.
Yuanbao came to the prince's room for the first time, and everything was fresh. He ran around and had enough fun before he turned back. Tang Yu only walked to Song Qin's bed at this time, which showed how slowly the girl with two legs was walking.
"How long will the prince keep it?" Seeing the plywood on his legs, Tang Yu felt even more guilty. While asking, he glanced at the chair next to him and wanted to find a chair to sit in. There was an embroidery slogan in her room. Song Qin had a chair here, but Song Qin just disliked the smell of powder left by Song Yue and asked someone to move the chair out.
"Sit here." Song Qin patted him.
Tang Yu looked at his legs, without saying much, and sat over obediently.
"The imperial physician said that it would take at least half a month to remove the splint. Before that, the leg should not move around." Song Qin hugged her waist and let her lie in his arms like the third princess. In the same posture, Tang Yu was taller than the third princess, and his head was just on his shoulder. Song Qin moved her to the elbow to see her.
Tang Yu changed his face because of such intimacy, but his head was chewing Song Qin's words. He couldn't move for half a month, is that...
"I'm thinking about our agreement?" Song Qin touched her chin and guessed in a low voice.
The little girl's black eyes turned to the foot of the bed, and she didn't say anything.
Song Qin's little depression in his heart was comforted by her cute appearance. He smiled and pinched her ears, and slowly twisted her earlobe, "Don't be too happy too early. I have some ways to love you. If it really doesn't work, I can let you go home and continue to fulfill the agreement when I get ready. Yuer tells me, what do you want?"
Tang Yu had no thoughts of being grateful, and he replied tactfully: "I want to see my father soon."
It is better to have short pain than long pain. No matter what method he uses, he can't escape that kind of thing anyway. She can get enough for a month earlier and feel at ease sooner.
"I really can't speak." Song Qin smiled and pointed her little mouth.
Tang Yu endured silently.
It was dark, and the two of them had eaten on the bed. After washing up, Song Qin could not move, so Tang Yu rested here.
Song Qin's left leg was "injured" and asked her to lie outside the bed. In the dark night, he hugged her and took off her clothes.
Tang Yu kindly advised him, "The prince was just injured..."
"Do you think I will postpone the agreement for a few more days?" Song Qin asked quietly with his big hand holding the cotton tips up.
Tang Yu didn't want to do it, since he insisted, she wouldn't care. He would do whatever he wanted to do.
Song Qin wanted to change his style, but he didn't want to embarrass her too much, so he asked her to sit on it. She had to hate him. What he wanted most was not just a few nights of fun. But it was not like that, and he couldn't do anything. In the end, he exhausted his patience and turned over and picked up her legs.
Tang Yu was startled, but the man who followed her told her that she could not think too much, like a delicate flower in the wind and rain, she could only sway with the wind.
Until he carried her to his legs again, until the splint was pulled and thrown to the ground by him.
With a "date", Tang Yu woke up and asked him in shock: "Prince, you, your legs..."
"Okay, Yu'er is a magic pill. Once I hug you, all the diseases will be cured." Song Qin kissed her face and her chin, hoping to take her.
Tang Yu didn't believe it, a little scared, afraid that he would be too impulsive, and ignored his body for a moment of joy, and blamed her on the head afterwards. However, the man did not listen to her advice at all, and became like the horse in the day, leading her all the way to the end of unknown where. Tang Yu's body was about to dissipate, and his soul was about to dissipate, and he couldn't even care about him, so how could he have the heart to care about him?
"Prince..."
She cried intermittently, not understanding why he was injured, but was more energetic than last night.
"Yu'er, do you still want to ride a horse?" Song Qin pressed her flat and asked hard, word by word.
Tang Yu touched the gauze tent and left again. She thought he was talking nonsense, so she shook her head and refused to answer.
"Don't want to?" Song Qin asked uncertainly.
Tang Yu still shook his head, clutching his mattress with both hands, and his body began to tremble.
Song Qin said heavily: "That won't work. If you don't ride a horse, you will definitely feel bored just by riding a carriage in the next few days."
Tang Yu reluctantly came back to his senses, opened his eyes, and before he could meet his phoenix eyes, he suddenly sank...
~
The bright moonlight shone in through the window edges. After the sky turned dizzy, the moonlight could see the person above his head clearly.
Tang Yu gasped carefully and looked at him blankly.
"Yuer, we will set out later. I'll take you to see the grassland scenery."
